Seriously though, Murray always plays badly when he's the first match of the day. I'm surprised he doesn't do more to address this, maybe start warming up earlier or something. At least this loss wasn't as embarrassing as to Chardy, someone he's never had a problem with before.

One of my fave matches of the year that Servebot my arse. This kid is the real deal, such a shame the ITF and ATP do not want his ilk winning big tournaments so they keep those courts slow.

Muzza stunk a bit at the end of the third but in the first two sets there was nothing he could do against a superb display of fast court tennis. Everything in Milos' game was working. The ROS and ground game are definitely there.

Murray was absolutely pathetic with his attitude though, I'm not sure I can remember a point that Milos won which Andy wasn't cursing afterwards, and Milos did win 114 points so that's a lot of misguided anger

Murray wasn't like this throughout the US Open, right? I don't remember it if so. His attitude was appalling today. I usually don't care what the players do out there but every single point?!

QFT. Milos kept his cool including on MPs. Congrats to him and his fans!

Murray I believe lost all 250 from not replaying Bangkok, and then for only making the SF here in Tokyo he loses some more big points. He likely won't win Shanghai again, in fact I don't think he'll make it past the SF, so that's another 640 point loss.

Murray is bound to finish 2012 #3. Rafa/Ferrer for #4 and #5 (probably Rafa stays 4 and Ferrer 5 or lower), and the battle for #1 and #2 is between Rogie and Djokovic.

Tremendous victory for Milos today. He kept his level up at a high level throughout and played a clutch 3rd set TB with some monstrous shots when he needed to. Certainly one of the best matches he's ever played (up there with the loss to Federer in Madrid) and probably the best win.

He's got a real chance to win the first ATP500 event of his career this week against either Kei or Baghdatis.
